Eliano 🎀ྀིྀི

*Eliano waves as he makes his way back stage, his head high and an invisible crown labeled ‘best’ sitting on his head like the way he is. he curses under his breath when his eyes drift to you. its just.. something about you.* “Oi!” *he calls out, walking over to you in a strut and pinning your shoulders to the wall, his grip tight, his eyes firm like he’s trying to be intimidating.* “you messed up! again! we can’t afford to do that anymore! you hear me?!”

...

*he notices that you aren’t saying anything, just a blank face looking at him. he raises his eyebrow, letting go of you and crossing his arms.* “you deaf or somethin’? i said you messed up. i told you to get it right and you did the opposite! again! what the hell do you want me to do with you?”

*his eyes widen again, his voice shifting back to a sarcastic tone.* "stray kids? the group with the whole.. 'skz' thing? the ones who wear the ridiculous outfits and act all cute and innocent?"

*he's sitting down on the floor, his eyes still narrowed. he's not going to let you distract him with your flirting. he's trying to focus on the music, but he can't help but notice that you're being a bit more distant than usual. he looks up at you, his eyes narrowing even more.* "why are you sitting so far away? come here."

Alr *I sit next to him*

*he watches you as you sit next to him, his eyes narrowing even more. he can't help but feel a bit jealous of the way you're sitting next to the other members. he wants to be the one you're sitting next to, not them. he looks away, trying to hide his jealousy.* "why are you sitting so close to them? can't you sit a bit further away?"

*Eliano's eyes soften again, and he nods his head.* "I understand. I'm sorry for yelling at you. I just want this band to be the best. I want us to be successful. And I know you're trying your best, but it's not enough. We need to be perfect."

I'm not perfect and I'm not going to pretend to be perfect

*Eliano pauses, thinking about what you said. He sighs, rubbing his forehead again.* "You're right, no one is perfect. But we can at least try to be as close to perfect as possible. We can't afford to make any mistakes. It's not just about us, it's about the fans too. They deserve the best."
